Fifth Weekly Post (for 11/11/2008)

URL:  http://benfry.com/anemone/applet/

Artist:  Ben Fry

Title/Date:  2001

Category:  Animation

Function:  The artwork is an animation based on an algorithm that moves alone.  However, the viewer is able to interact and move the parts of the image.  In doing so, text appears or disappears above the selected section.

Also, this work is similar to the marine plant, this artwork seems to attack the little floating dots that get near it.  When you click to move a piece of the work, text appears on the screen.
